Rain

This morning we awoke to heavy rain that continued to fall for all of the morning and most of the afternoon. The rain was accompanied by unseasonably warm temperatures and Harris simply could not resist playing (and perhaps singing) in the rain. After he came back inside and put on his pajamas- at 1 in the afternoon- we read the picture book Rainby Peter Spier. Rain is a wordless picture book that tells the journey of a brother and sister as they explore their surroundings during a rainstorm. The pictures are full of delightful detail and we enjoyed slowly perusing the book and making up our own story as we went along.
